X-Rated Story based on a Dream. Over 18s Only!

Ok, this is another one of my dreams i had, names changed again! Enjoy!


My name is Mark and this is my short story.

It starts at home with my family. We decided to have a little family time and watch a movie together, something which is very hard to do because we rarely ever have any spare time for anything with all 4 of us working. So anyway, we decided to get some other family members over, cousins, uncles, aunts, basically anyone who had any free time. Besides, it’s nice to see them from time to time.

My uncles and aunts couldn’t come as they were working and it was the same for my cousins except for 2 of them. They both work together and they decided to take some days off work to relax with their girlfriends. I told them that they could bring the girls over, bring some booze if they wanted to and stay the night. We have a big house, there’s plenty of spare rooms so why not.

Dad thought it would be a good idea to go buy some drinks since it was only 6, I suggested we go to Tesco because there was an Xtravision there too so we might as well get the movie and the booze at the same time. By 8:20 my cousins had arrived with their girlfriends but with no drinks. So we all decided to head over to Tesco, just for a laugh.

We drove over with 2 cars, it wasn’t too far so it didn’t take us long. We split up in Tesco to get some munchies, a few crisps, some dips and then we met up in the alcohol section. I went for a bottle of Southern Comfort; my cousins got a small bottle of Jack Daniels each. They just stood there with the bottle in their hand, looked at it and at each other and then put the bottles back and got a large one instead. With the way they act sometimes you would think they were twins but there is 5 years difference between them and they think so alike. My dad got a crate of Peroni, an Italian beer. Ever since his holiday to Rome 10 years ago he has loved it. Problem was, Peroni wasn’t really that easily available over here until probably about 5 or so years ago. At least I think it wasn’t, I never really saw them in any shops until 5 years ago so I might be wrong.

As usual the girls had all bunched together and where giggling and chatting away about shopping or men or something. They were trying to cheer up my sister a little bit as she had just broken up with her boyfriend. She assured them that she was ok and that she wasn’t upset. It was true, she was actually a little happier now. Her boyfriend was one of my friends, he was like an absent boyfriend though, sometimes he would disappear and no one would know where he was or if he was ok. They started seeing each other a couple of years ago, he disappeared, she cried and was upset and a year later we had found out that he had left and gone to work in America, didn’t tell anyone, not even his parents. He was back and she decided to give him another chance. I didn’t really mind, I normally don’t get involved with that sort of thing, I mean yeah he is a mate but if he is going out with my sister all I want him to do is treat her right and don’t mess about with her. Any arguments they have I stay out of it. Lately he had been doing the usual stuff, not calling her, cancelling their dates and she was getting very annoyed. She had learned from the first time so she wasn’t going to take it and would let him know about it.

They had gone away for a few days for Valentines Day and it had been 2 weeks since they last saw each other after they had gotten back so she told me she was meeting with him in town and breaking up with him. He called and cancelled again, said he had to do something so she called him back and basically told him it was over and that was that. My dad turned to the girls and told them to hurry up and get what they want; they went over to the wine section and started to discuss which wine would be better for the night and how many bottles.

“Let’s go with the Rosé!”
“No it’s too sweet, how about Jacobs Creek?”
“Oh just get one of each or something, it’s all the same, made from grapes or whatever”

My sister wasn’t that into wine, she just went for 2 large bottles of Smirnoff Ice instead. We made our way to the tills, paid for everything and then went to bring it to the car. After everything was put in the boot carefully we went over to see what movies we were going to rent. This normally ends the same way. My mum wants to see something romantic, me and my cousins want to see either a horror or some sort of adventure movie, my dad wants to see a western and the girls, well they don’t care because they either spend the time talking in the other room or they fall asleep early on.

After about 30 minutes of deciding what to get we went with 2 choices, Underdog and Pathfinder. My dad may like westerns but he is a big child at heart, he still watches cartoons and reads comic books, I have to confess that I am the same too, I love them and my mum will watch anything with a cute dog, especially a talking cute dog so that was Underdog sorted, as for Pathfinder, yeah it got some bad reviews and all that but I have to tell you, after watching it, I really enjoyed it. Anyway, we headed off back home; my dad got one of those picnic fridges. You know, the small plastic thing where you put a frozen pack in and it keeps food/drinks cool? He had put it in the freezer we had to get it ready for the night. He can be smart sometimes.

We put our drinks in the fridge and stuck in Underdog. Just as the movie was about to start I got a call from my friend, her name is Monica, she is the most beautiful girl I ever met and despite only knowing each other for about a year, we’ve grown a little close. Not very close but close to be very good friends and to act like an idiot around because she has a weird sense of humour. She is rude, weird, evil, a total bitch but it a very good way. I asked her if she wanted to come over to watch a movie with us and she said she would be there in 20 minutes and we should just start watching now.

So there we are, watching Underdog, my sister and the 2 girls chatting at the table, mum and dad cuddling up and me and my cousins drinking and talking about where we should go on holidays. Every now and again I would look at my watch, waiting impatiently for Monica to arrive. She’s late but then again she is always late so I wasn’t too worried. Eventually the doorbell rings and I jump up and race over to open it. My cousin cracks a joke about how I don’t even move that fast when doing work or playing football and my dad laughs.

No introductions where needed as everyone had met Monica before. She had been to the house a few times to visit me and she had been on nights out with us too. My mum thought she was a really nice girl and they would sometimes have a quick chat when she comes over. She sat with the girls and chatted with them while the rest of us watched the movie.

There was about 10 or so minutes left in the movie when my mum decided she would go to bed as she had a headache and was tired. She asked my dad if he was coming and he told her he would watch the rest of the DVD and then head up. So we said our goodnights, she told us not to stay up too late and went up stairs. My dad sat there, listening carefully for the bedroom door to close and as soon as he heard it he quickly got off his seat and went over to the liquor cabinet.

He got down on his knee’s and stuck his hand underneath the cabinet, looking for something, he grunted and took out his mobile and used the light from it to see underneath the cabinet. “Ah, there it is, Mark, give me something to grab this box with, I cant reach it. I grabbed the poker by the fireplace and handed it to him; he got back down and pulled out a box with the word Serenity written on it. It was one of those old deodorant box set things. But this one was special, my dad may not look it but he loves smoking weed, mum doesn’t know and if she knew she would kill him. Not because it was weed but because he was smoking. She doesn’t mind guests smoking as long as its not around her so when she goes to bed, I can have a smoke and she wouldn’t care but she hates the thought of my dad smoking.

Dad opens the box and slides it over to my cousin. “Here, you’re the expert at rolling, get cracking” See, that’s the cool thing about my dad. He’s more like one of the guys, a best mate; he’s all about having fun and smoking weed. My cousin started to make a spliff and as he worked away at it, my dad reached down the side of the couch and pulled out one he had already done up before. We looked over at him, as if to ask him where he got it from and he just shrugged and lit it. “I gotta head up to bed so I had this one from before; just make sure you put the box back where it was before going to bed. I don’t want your mother freaking out like last time”

Underdog had finished so I stuck in Pathfinder, my dad had also finished his spliff so he decided to head up to bed. My sister also decided to go to bed, so it was just the 6 of us left to watch the movie. Monica sat next to me on the couch, I laid back and rested my head on her chest and she put one of her hands on my head. I had a little secret, I really liked Monica. I don’t know why, I just…..well it’s very hard to explain it. I think about her all the time, I cant get her out of my mind and the one thing I really want is for her to go out with me. I don’t know if she knows how I feel about her, I don’t think she does and I can’t tell her because I’m too scared that it would ruin our friendship.

The movie went on, my younger cousin complained about it being bad and he and his girl friend decided they would go to bed. His brother thought it would be a good idea to go to bed too so it was just me and Monica left on the couch. We weren’t paying much attention to the movie, we were just chatting about random stuff, laughing at what each of us had been getting up to since the last time we saw each other.

Eventually she slid down on the couch so that she was laying on it. I turned around so I could face her and we continued chatting. Time went by and it was soon 2am. I told her we had another spare room and she was more than welcome to stay but she decided to crash on the couch for some reason. I tried to convince her but she wouldn’t budge. It was the couch or nothing. I put my arms around her and gave her a kiss on the cheek and she gave one back to me. “I love you Mark” Now that was ok because she always said that, she did love me as a friend, and I would always tell her that I loved her too and that was that but then something else happened.

She looked me straight in the eyes, we lay there just staring at each other and all I wanted to do was kiss her on the lips. Should I take the chance? Should I just go for it and see what happens? I did nothing, I just held onto her and then she pulled me closer, instinctively I held her tighter, I had assumed she thought I was falling off the couch and was bringing me closer. All of a sudden she kissed me again but this time on the lips. It wasn’t a long kiss but I didn’t care, it was on the lips, it was what I wanted, it was great.

She giggled quietly and I smiled and then she took her hand away and put them on my chest. She teased me slowly, I moved my hand up and down her back gently, and then she put her hand on my crotch at started massaging me. I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t talk, I just……I just grabbed her ass and squeezed it. She unzipped my trousers, stuck her hand in and grabbed my dick. “Ah, here it is, it’s been poking me for a while now hehehe” My face went red and I tried to say something but I stuttered some gibberish; she kissed me again and then said something that got me excited!

“I forgot to wear my panties tonight” And to prove it she pulled down her jeans to show her clean shaven smooth pussy. Without thinking or saying anything I started to finger her pussy and she started to jerk me off. She moaned quietly until I stopped. She looked at me and asked what was wrong, I told her I wanted to taste it so I shifted slowly downwards and started licking her pussy. She squirmed, put her hands on the back of my head and pulled it closer.

I let my tongue go in and out of her pussy, lapping it up, licking around and inside. She pulled my head up and kissed me to taste her pussy juice. She then grabbed my dick and rubbed it against her pussy; she kissed my chest and moved down slowly. She was about to put my dick in her mouth when I stopped her, I didn’t want a blowjob; she shrugged and straddled me, rubbing her pussy against my balls. Then she moved up a little bit and adjusted herself so that my dick went into her pussy. She started off slowly, shifting back and forth. We both groaned, her tits were bouncing up and down, I grabbed them and bit them, she loved it. She started to move faster, it was getting hot and heavy; I went to turn, forgetting we were on the couch and we both fell down.

Luckily we didn’t break anything. She smiled and looked at me. “Slide your hard cock up and down against me. Tease me and feel me, I’m wet for you, my juices are running down my legs.” I did as she asked, I was her bitch but I didn’t care. “I want you all the way inside me, bend me over and slide your hard cock up and down against me, tease me then fuck me all the way, I’m so horny.”

I bent her over, grabbed her hair and pulled back and kissed her before pushing it back down, I got my dick and rubbed it against her ass and pussy, she gyrated her pelvis around, beginning me to stick it in so I slowly pushed the tip in and then I gave a quick thrust, she screamed, I looked and noticed that I had stuck my dick in her ass but I didn’t stop, I kept going, she struggled a little bit but then relaxed and started to move back and forth with my thrusts, she was getting it up the ass and she was loving it. I was about to cum and I started thrusting harder and faster, I had one hand on the ground for balance and the other hand around her waist, holding her closer, rubbing her pussy a few times. With one last thrust I came in her ass, she slumped down and I dropped on top of her, kissing the back of her neck.

“You still want to stay on the couch or would you rather get in a nice comfy bed with me?” I asked her, she smiled and kissed me not saying a word. She then stood up, and grabbed her jeans, I stood up to help her, and she just grabbed my dick and started walking out the door. “Come on then, let’s get to bed.” Before we had even made it up the stairs my dick was hard again, we made our way to my room and I locked the door behind us. I turned to her and saw her lying seductively on my bed, naked or not, she always looked so beautiful and sexy. She started to rub her clit, I walked over to her, she grabbed my dick again with her other hand and started sucking it. She licked and sucked on my balls while she wanked my hard dick, her tongue circled around the base and then to the top. I stretch my hand over and start to rub her pussy and finger her again, she sucks hard on my dick and I cum in her mouth. She swallows it all and licks her lips clean.

Dreaming of €100K

I had a dream last night about winning €100K in some competition that Dublin's 98 were running! For the last 7 days I havent been able to remember any of my dreams, I blame the Italian air, nothing much really happened while I was away, Dream wise or real world! But as soon as I came back and went to sleep, I had one of my usual, sometimes weird, dream!

The whole premise behind the competition was simple really. Dermot & Dave would provide clues during their show and from those clues you had to find out what it was and take it to the Stations office. This wasnt that simple, you needed to bring it in person and within a 20 minute time limit. Once you arrived you had to wait for the time limit to expire to give any other listener a chance too. If you were the only person there you win the €100K but if there were others then you all had to answer a series of difficult questions from Declan Pierce & Adrian Barry! The objects were every day items that could be found around the house and not too big or heavy!

So in my dream I am walking down O'Connell Street listening to The Morning Show on my iPhone and Dermot & Dave are giving clues to what the object might be. "It comes in different shapes & sizes" said Dermot, "They have different types of melodies but they all ring" came from Dave. At that point I was guessing a mobile phone and since I had one I started making my way to the station but then Dermot gave a final clue which was "This little thing has been helping people wake up for many years" The answer, An Alarm Clock.

I rushed into the nearest shop with the intention of buying an alarm clock, I dont know what shop it was but when I got in I searched everywhere and eventually found 2 Alarm Clock. As I reached out to take 1 of the clocks another hand reached in and took the other 1, I looked up to see some guy who was staring right back at me, I could tell from the look in his eyes that he had been listening to the Radio and he wanted to win the €100K.

All of a sudden we both snatched the clocks and a race ensued between us. We rushed out of the shop without even paying for the clocks and with no one coming after us for stealing them. Eventually, after what seemed more like an hour of running around the city to get to the office and not 20 minutes, we both stood there, the only 2 to have made it. Along the way there were some mishaps as we both tried to delay each other in some way or anyother, from getting to the station, such as me setting up a large net full of fish to swing by and swipe the other guy into the Liffey or accidently glueing my shoes and having to take them off to finish the race.

Anyway, we were there and we were awaiting Dec & Adrian for the questions to see who would be the winner. I was lucky this was a dream because most of the questions were Rugby related and I have no idea about anything Rugby related in real life but yet in the dream I was fantastic. The questions kept coming and we both kept answering them correctly. Eventually we got a wrestling question which I was able to answer but the other guy wasnt and there was a huge explosion of fireworks as confetti rained down and everyone cheered!

Long Story short, I ended up giving half to the other guy cause it was very close and he put up a good fight for it, then I woke up.

Another Dream, Another Woman

Only names changed in this story are Elaine and Barry! Enjoy

We decided to go to Fibbers for a few drinks and meet up with some old friends.
As we made our way there I noticed it was a lot darker than normal and it was only 8pm but i wasn't concerned, all i wanted to do was get to the pub, have some drinks and chat with some friends, and hopefully meet Elaine.

Elaine was this beautiful girl i used to work with, really amazing, well i thought so anyway. We used to get along very well in work and we always had a laugh with the emails we sent each other. Sure they didn't make sense to others when they read them but that was because only we knew what we were talking about.

I hadn't seen Elaine since leaving Eircom, which was about 3 months ago, not because she didn't want to or i didn't want to but because we were both so busy with our respective jobs. When i had some free time she would be stuck on a late shift in work and when she had some free time i would be away on training or something but we made sure that this time we would both be free so we could meet up and catch up on things. We didn't have to walk to far to get to Fibbers, i only live around the corner in Gardiner Street so its very handy for when i have to go home. No taxi, no long walks and quick access to my bed! Once we got there we ordered our drinks and went to the smoking area, that's where everyone that we know normally goes. Kev was the first guy i saw there, i love this man, tall fucker and genuine nice guy, he's like a brother to me and i always tell him that! He gets up from his seat and greets me with a big hug and as he goes to sit back down he rips a hole in my shirt. One of the sharp studs on his belt just hitched itself to my shirt so it was an accident and i told him it was alright but he felt very bad about it and said he would pay for a new one. I just told him that buying me a drink would be more than enough compensation. Like i said, i love the guy and accidents are accidents, its only a shirt and i have many more of them at home.............at least i hope i do.

Sitting next to Kev was Dean. You could say that Dean and Kev are brothers. They've only known each other for about 3 or 4 years but in that short time they've grown close, they get each others weird sense of humour and are almost always hanging out together. Dean is another great guy too, i remember when he used to be a shy guy but that all changed when he met Kev. He is the most evil, politically incorrect guy i know but in a very good way and i like him. He makes me laugh, he helps me out when i need help. He's been there for me when i rant on after 8 too many shots and will give some sound advice.............alright, so his advice isn't always that great but you get the idea. When you have Dean and Kev together you have a lethal combination, nothing can go wrong and if it does, well your pretty much fucked and you better run as fast as you can!

So Dean starts asking me about Elaine, wondering where she is, what she looks like, has she got a sister, just taking the piss with me. I tell him that i dint know where she is but I'm hoping to God she will be here soon. I've had a crush on Elaine since i first saw her when i started in Eircom but being the shy guy that i am, i could never ask her out or anything. I wasn't sure if she was seeing anyone and i didn't know how she felt about me, the last thing i wanted to do was pour my heart out to her only for her to get freaked out and run a mile and believe me that's happened to me before. I did finally find out that she wasn't seeing anyone but i was only told that after i had already left the job and it was her best friend who told me so there had to be some truth to it. I had tested Elaine a few weeks back to make sure that we could meet up today and nothing would get in our way but i was getting a little worried that she may have forgotten about it. I wasn't going to call or text her, i didn't want to seem like some sort of psycho who's stalking her or something like that.

11:30 rolled around and my phone beeped, i checked it and saw a text message from Elaine, she just got into Fibbers and was wondering where i was, i replied back that i was in the smoking area and would see her in a few seconds. I started to get a little nervous, Kev put his hand on my shoulder and told me to just relax and be myself and everything will be alright, Dean slapped me across the back of the head and told me that i would do fine. So i waited a couple of seconds and i saw her at the doorway looking around the room, i raised my hand up and shouted over to her, she saw me and waved at me. We managed to snag a chair from someone who wasn't paying attention and made room for Elaine, i introduced her to everyone and then she introduced her guy friend she brought along to everyone. I didn't know what to do or say, yeah i said hi to the guy and shook his hand, he said his name was Barry. Elaine sat down beside me but Barry got a chair and put it between us and he sat down. I was thinking back to what i was told about her being single and was wondering if i missed something or if she had met someone since i was informed about it. I was a little heartbroken but didn't show it, i just kept chatting away to her and Barry with a smile. She was telling me about what had been happening since i left the job and how there is a new boss who she doesn't like because he's a bit of a hard ass. I told her i was loving my new job and suggested she should apply too, we could have fun there together, like before.

Kev decided to buy a round so he got up to go to the bar, he asked Barry if he could come and help him, obviously trying to help me out with the situation. Barry was a bit hesitant in replying to him and by the time he was ready Elaine had decided she would help instead and excused herself. Kev gave me one of his weird looks that said "sorry, i tried, it backfired" I started talking to Barry, asking him all sorts of generic questions like what sport he watches, football team he supports, just idle chit chat and then i asked him how long he had known Elaine. He said he met her in work about 2 and a half months ago, she had found his wallet and brought it back to him. Now i was in Eircom a good 6 years and i dint remember ever seeing this guy so i asked him what department he worked in, he said he was in Faults & Recovery but had only started working with the company in the last 7 months. So there was a good reason why i had never seen him before. Elaine and Kev came back with the drinks, they had a tray between them and she had bought me a double JD & Coke and a shot of Purple Haze. I cracked a joke about her trying to get me drunk so she could take advantage of me and she laughed and commented that i wouldn't mind if anyone took advantage of me drunk or sober.

It was a little difficult trying to talk to her with Barry in the middle so i took complete advantage when he went to the loo, i got up and sat in his seat and chatted away to Elaine. I really wanted to ask her if there was something going on between the 2 of them but i couldn't. I just had the thought in my head that she might not appreciate me being nosey about her private life and it would probably ruin our friendship. For the whole time we were talking i couldn't stop staring into her eyes, beautiful blue eyes, i didn't even notice the guy behind me take my chair. Barry came back and looked at us with his hands out to the side asking what happened to his chair, i looked over and apologised that i hadn't noticed my one being taken and was getting up to give him his back but he said it was alright and sat himself on Elaine's knee.

Elaine was a little surprised about it as she wasn't really expecting him to do that, i hung my head down, admitting defeat to this other man, Dean leaned over the table to get his drink and as he did he whispered to me that it was alright and we would beat Barry up later outside, i smiled a little but i knew he was only joking about it and was just trying to cheer me up. So we continued chatting about things and having a laugh, all the time i tried to get my mind off Barry on her knee but i would end up imagining them kissing instead, it was wrecking my head. I said it was my turn to get a round in, i asked everyone what they wanted and once i had repeated it back to them and still got it wrong i went up to the bar. I looked back at the group hoping that Barry would take my seat but he never budged from her Knee. Once the barman gave me the drinks i ordered i put them on the tray and went back to my seat. I put the tray on the table and sat down, as i did there was a low rumbling noise all around us, everyone looked around and for just a split second there was silence, something that's extremely rare in Fibbers on a Thursday night. It was broken by the door slamming from the high winds. After that it was back to the usual noise of the place, everyone just seemed to assume that it was the wind making the noise.

I wasn't paying attention again because when i went to pick up my drink i saw that Elaine was actually holding my hand and i was holding hers. I looked down at it and then at her and she smiled at me. At that point i was very confused, what was she trying to do? It felt like time had stopped and it was just the 2 of us there but it didn't last long. Suddenly there was a load roar and some shaking in the pub. Somebody shouted earthquake but it couldn't have been, Ireland docent get earthquakes, does it? This was an earthquake though, i remember being in France 10 years ago when there was a minor earthquake, it only shook the ground a little and did no damage and that was my first and only experience until now and i thought back to only just 5 or 6 minutes ago when there was that low rumble, that must have been an earthquake too. This second quake was loud and had actually broken some of the windows and made a few of the more drunken guys fall over but it wasn't too bad, it didn't cause too much, if any, damage apart from the windows. Barry seemed to be more shaken than us, he went to grab Elaine's knee and she pushed him off her. Everyone stood up, there was some chattering about what to do, Dean thought it would be a good idea to get more drinks in case the bar got damaged with the shocks, we laughed thinking he was joking but he was actually very serious and seemed almost upset about it. Some of the people started to leave, others thought it was great, someone mentioned it felt like drinking on a rollercoaster.

I suggested going back to my place, the guys knew where i lived and they knew that i always kept a good stock of alcohol there so we could have a more relaxing time, i even invited Barry over too. He seemed a little hesitant at first but agreed to come. We pushed our way through the people to get out and just as we reached the door there was another tremor and this one was strong. People started screaming, we grabbed onto whatever was near us to keep a balance. Elaine held onto me as i held onto one of the large pillars, well just about, i couldn't get my arms all the way around and i ended up falling over with her on top of me. The tremor lasted about 4 minutes and in that 4 minutes it did a lot of damage. Kev and Dean had been holding onto the bar counter, which surprisingly seemed to be in good shape. I got up and helped Elaine up too, Kev shouted about getting out quickly so we did and as soon as we went out through the doors we saw that the road had split, there was a void between us and the opposite side, people were screaming, cars were dangling by the side, falling over into the abyss.

Luckily we didn't have to cross to get to my place, we hurried down towards Gardiner Street and started making our way to the apartment. As we rounded the corner of Parnell and Gardiner another tremor struck and we all grabbed onto the railings near us. The ground started to part at our feet so we got onto the small wall that the railing were mounted on. Dean was at the front with Kev behind him followed by Barry, myself and then Elaine. We moved slowly as it was very hard to go fast with the little space we had, Barry lost his footing and slipped, I managed to grab his hand in time and told him to hold on, Kev slowly squatted down and grabbed hold of Barry and the 2 of us pulled him back up, he grabbed hold of the railings and kissed them, promising never to let go of them until we got past the drop. So we continued on and as we looked around we could see the devastation caused by the last tremor. We could see fires in the distance, black smoke, we could hear more people screaming, praying, crying. I looked back and saw that the wall with the railings we had just passed was starting to crumble and fall down. I told Elaine to go over me and go ahead and not to look back so i pushed into the railings to give her some space to pass me, we picked up the pace a little to get off and into the apartment as we got closer. I started thinking that it may not be such a good idea to go indoors because the building might get demolished by the tremors so we started throwing out some ideas or plans on what to do. Barry suggested getting in a car and driving but Dean pointed out that the last car we saw had fallen into the open and there was a very high chance if we did get into one the same would happen to us.

We eventually got to my place, unfortunately it was in bad shape, actually terrible, half the building was gone, destroyed. Dean jumped off the wall and Kev followed him, Barry gently sat down and off, he was still a little shaken form earlier, i was helping Elaine off when all of a sudden the railing i was holding onto started falling back with the wall and into the open. Elaine managed to get clear but i was left hanging on and screaming. Kev dived onto the ground and grabbed onto my arm, the railing started to break off so i let go of it and held onto Kev otherwise i would have gone down and dragged him with me but i hadn't noticed that he had gone a little too far and we were both dangling over the hole now, me holding onto Kev looking up at him and he holding onto me looking down the hole, Dean had grabbed Kev by his legs and Barry was there holding on too. "Jesus that's fucking dark down there" he said. They pulled us both up and i thanked them and hugged them. Elaine came over and hugged me and then kissed me, she then smacked me and gave out for not being careful, i told her i was sorry. Then i decided to tell her how i felt. I told her that i liked her, always had from the first day, that i was too scared to say anything to her, that i always thought about her, every day and every night and that just holding hands with her was the best thing i could ever want and that's what i would want to do all the time. She stood there, looked a bit shocked and then she kissed me again and asked why i hadn't said anything until now. Dean asked if we were done and if there was anything i wanted to get out of what was left of my place. I looked at my home, the place i had lived in for the last 6 years, i had worked so hard to get it. Sure it may seem like a dump on a good day but it was home and now it was half a home. I said i didn't need anything and we should get a move on. We were trying to decide where to go and how to get there and what we would do when we got there when there was a loud explosion and a screeching noise, things were about to get a whole lot worse................................

Another weird dream

So I had another one of my weird dreams last night. This one involved Time Travel and Parallel universes, the main people in the dream were @Dublins98Dave @amylong and @Ray_keogh!

I'm not going to go into great detail about this dream as it is way too long! Basically I was shifting back and forth from present day 2009 to the future of 2020(I can tell you all that the Mayans got it wrong, there wont be a 2012 so we're all safe) and I had a travelling companion who was @Dublins98Dave. The device that made us go back and forth? A Yo-Yo actually, it had an LED screen where you could input the date and then you had to basically get it going up and down as you do with them but then you had to make it do one of those "Round the World" trick, I cant explain it but this is basically it in this diagram:



If you made it spin around clockwise you would travel forward and if you made it go anti-clockwise you would travel backwards.

In the dream, i found this Yo-Yo but wasn't aware of its powers and I was showing @Dublins98Dave some tricks I could do. During one of the tricks I accidentally dropped the Yo-Yo which triggered the LED to start showing random numbers. We thought it was pretty cool but didn't think much else of it, then @Dublins98Dave wanted to show me a trick and that's when he hit the Time Travelling Trick and sent us hurling into the future.

Long Story short, we were helped by Spiderman, Mr Fantastic and Doctor Strange through some adventures, eventually managing to get back to our own time. Everything was back to normal and we were out for a few drinks with @amylong and @Ray_keogh when Doctor Strange from the future burst into the room looking for myself and @Dublins98Dave! Apparently we were needed for a mission of grave importance and his Time Travelling device had become damaged so he had to rely on us and my Yo-Yo. As I set it in motion to take us to the future, there was a solar eclipse which messed up our trajectory, the space time continuum and ripped a hole in the fabric of the universe sending myself, @Dublins98Dave, @amylong, @Ray_keogh and Doctor Strange to a Parallel Universe where everything seemed almost too perfect.

We had to find a way back to our universe somehow when all of a sudden, and this is no joke, this happened for real, I was woken up from the dream by my Yo-Yo falling off the headboard onto my head as I had forgotten I put it up there last night before going to sleep.

There was alot more stuff in this dream, like Doctor Strange injecting me with something that allowed me to learn abilities such as Wolverines healing, Storms power to control the weather(Very handy for Ireland) and Spidermans spidey powers, @Dublins98Dave transforming into Mecha-Dave and battling Mothrawking(Think Mothra and Stephen Hawking joined as one huge evil entity, also, its strange to have them as evil as neither of them are evil) @amylong falling into some weird purple liquid that gave her super powers which also involved a high pitch screech she would use when pissed off and finally @Ray_keogh being given command of a battalion of super-robots like Terminators which he could control from a VR room wearing a VR suit.

Together we were know as The ULTIMATE SUPERHEROES!

Man I wish my dreams were real, not all of them, just the good ones!

The Times.......It cant be wrong!

Greetings my readers......er....reader....ok ok no readers, I don't care! Let me tell you of a little story of what happened to me on a call in work the other night which really pissed me off. Firstly a little back story, for those of you who don't know, I work in a call center on a number of different contracts, I have a few favourite because they are either very easy to do or I just like what it is and Tourism Ireland is one of them.

See with Tourism Ireland, we have to promote Ireland as a holiday destination, we get callers from all over the world so we have language speakers to cover each language and we also reply to emails. Some of the calls and emails we get can be ridiculous or funny, some just plain idiotic. We have had people ask us where they can find a leprechaun, do they sell them in pet stores, the person was dead serious, when he was told they were not real he got very upset as he wanted to get his son the best birthday present, if I was that son and he got me a leprechaun, it better be able to grant me some wishes otherwise I would want a smarter dad!

Another person emailed us to ask where in Ireland they could find the underwater forest. One of my colleagues tried to help them out and after not finding anything in our guides he emailed the person and asked if they could give more information on this forest. The person replied back with a paragraph on this underwater forest, it was just some magical kingdom based on a book they were reading.

Thats just 2 examples of the "Weird & Wonderful" requests that we get, the call center has an intranet with a section esepcially for them so everyone can read them. The majority of these requests are from Americans and that leads me to the call I recieved the other night.

I did my usual scripted greeting and the voice on the other end was a female, if I was to guess I would say she was around her mid 30 or early 40. She told me that she would be coming to Ireland to tour the country and wanted some information. So I asked her if there was any area in specific that she wanted to visit, she started to mention the likes of Cork, Kerry, Dingle, Cavan, I was taking note of them and then she said she wanted to see StoneHenge. After she had finished talking I told her that I would put together some brochures on the areas she mentioned, provide her with some accommodation information and other bits & pieces, then I told her that if she wanted information on StoneHenge she would need to contact the Tourist Information for the UK as we only dealt with Ireland.

She asked me why should she contact them when its in Ireland! I told her that StoneHenge was based in Wiltshire in the UK and that we were a seperate Island and not in any way connected by a bridge or anything like that(Most Americans think you can drive across from Ireland to the UK, I have yet to find this mystical bridge connecting us to the UK, if anyone reading this knows its whereabouts please contact me as it would help us a great deal) She wasnt convinced, I then mentioned that maybe she was mixed up with Newgrange, a megalithic tomb built about 1,000 years older than Stonehenge and probably the closest thing to it!

Her reply:
"No no no, your peopel went to war with the English over it because it was Irish and they tried to take it"
I told her I was not aware of any such war and that even if there had been one, it would have been very difficult to transport the large heavy stones to either country. But she was adamant about this and was getting annoyed with me, telling me that I was wrong and I didnt know what I was talking about. Lets get one thing clear here, in my spare time I like to read about Mythology and History so I know a few things about different countries and I know where Stonehenge is and what it is, not only that but I am kinda patriotic, I love Ireland and I dont like hearing people takl shit about it or talking like they know something when they dont, this caller had pissed me off that I stopped being courteous and made it my point to educate her!

I explained again about the difference in location and tried to tell her that the only wars I was aware of were during the English occupation of Ireland and how the Irish fought to regain their freedom and their country, again she wouldnt listen and gave me a reply that made me shut up for a minute, stare at the phone screen and then cut the call. She said to me "Well Time Magazine did a story on this a few years back and I doubt that Time Magazine would make it up"

*CLICK*

Time Magazine? I have been on their site and searched around and have not found anything about Ireland and England being at war over who owned StoneHenge!
So if you ever wondered if Americans really are stupid then I can tell you yes, they are very stupid but thankfully not all of them are like that! I've always liked Americans, I have alot of friends and family that are American, If I offended you then I am sorry, if you dont know me and feel offended, tough shit!

What Dreams may come...

Lately I've been having some weird messed up dreams and some kinda cool ones too! Here is one of my dreams below, nothing was changed but the names of people involved. This one is a regular dream I have where the girl involved always changes to whoever I fancy in work. Oh and this isn't X Rated or anything, its very safe for work.

Have a read and let me know what you think!

It happened so fast, one minute I was heading to the loo and next thing you know, all hell breaks lose. I mean there must be about 20 to 30 guys out there and they’re all armed! How do I get myself into these situations? Actually, how can I get myself out of it too?

Thinking back, I was talking to Isabelle, trying to ask her out really but I fumbled my words as usual!

“So, uh, hows work today?” is what I started off with

“Oh, eet iz thee same, boreeng and long” was her reply to me, I was gonna try to make a funny out of her reply but when I said it in my head it sounded more vulgar than funny.

“Yeah, I know, its so repetitive. You look very pretty today” And at this point I started to get nervous, which is a recurring problem for me when I talk to girls most time. Seriously, put me in front of a lovely, gorgeous girl and I become a bumbling, muttering fool but put me in front of some danger, gangs, guns, and I can take them! I guarantee that if I had to go up against a gang of women I would lose, damn it, why do I have to be like this!

“Thank You, you really like eet?” Man she is so damn cute, ask her out you fool! “Shut up, I’m getting to th……er” Shit! I said that out loud didn’t I? She stares at me with a weird look on her face, yep, well done Max, you talked out loud to your inner thought. Smooth! “Erm, sorry, That’s not what I….well, its not….I didn’t mean you, I just meant, well I was talking to….” She cracked a smile, I think she knows that I like her; she’s just having some fun with me. Man that’s cruel; she’s just teasing me, typical! God I feel hot! “Man is it hot in here! I’m roasting!” Its hot, its very hot, I should ask them to put the air conditioning down or something, yeah that’s what I’ll do. “Max, eets cold, how can you be hotte when eet iz snowing outside” Oh right, I forgot about that, then why am I…..“Hey Isa, is my face all red? Cause I feel like I’m burning up here” She giggles slightly and nods her head. Ok so I embarrassed myself and that’s why I’m so hot now. I need to get some cold water, just splash my face and I should be ok. “Will you excuse me for a minute please? I’ll be right back” and so I made my way to the toilet and that’s how I’m at this point but come on, I wasn’t in there long! These guys have got to be some real pro’s to have gotten in so quick. What group are they from though? Their uniforms don’t have any insignia or symbols, they don’t seem to be carrying any type of guns, except for the big guy who I assume is their boss.

Ok, so they haven’t seen me yet, I can work this to my advantage, there’s a door in the toilet that leads to the roof, from there I can make it to the door at the other side and maybe get to a phone, call for help or something. I’ve just got to gently and slowly close this door so that they don’t hear it, otherwise I’ll give my location away.

“Where is he? I know he’s here, I know this is his stuff so where the fuck is he?” Ok, I gotta peep out and see this…… “If no one will tell me where he is, I am going to have to make an example out of one of you, starting with you!” Damn, he’s got Paul! Who the hell is he looking for? I can’t…………shit! That’s my desk! He’s looking for me! What the hell does he want with me? “Right, I am going to give you all to the count of five and if you don’t tell me where I can find him, your little friend here is getting a bullet right between the eyes” Fuck, no, gotta stop him! “1….” I need something…“..2..” Weapon weapon weapon! Damn it what can I use as a weapon!! “…3…” AHA! I grab the mop that’s leaning against the wall to my left and break it in half, I don’t need the bottom part, not yet anyway “…4….hehehe” *click* “fi…” I burst out through the door as he cocks the gun and launch the broken mop top at him. It feels like everything is going in slow motion. The mop top is heading straight for the gun; the big guy is slowly turning to see it as he is about to hit the trigger. Come on, come on, this feels like an eternity! “…ve..” *BANG*…..*SMASH* YES!!! Holy Crap, talk about last minute, I got the gun as he pulled the trigger; luckily the bullet hit the window shattering it. Ok, great plan, so I’ve saved Paul but uh…..now what? Didn’t think this through did you Max? “Shut up brain…” Oh man, there I go again talking to myself, sometimes I wonder if I’m a schizo or something! The big guy looks over to me, like he’s trying to size me up, his gang or team or whatever the hell they are just stand around me, blocking my way out. I have a feeling this is gonna turn nasty in some way so I decide to break the silence.

“I’m 5’ 2” and weigh 230lbs” I start walking towards the big guy. “I am a black belt 4th Dan in Tae Kwon Do, I have experience in Jiu Jitsu, I have done amateur wrestling, pro wrestling and also some MMA.” I decide to get a little cocky now. “I like sleeping in till late and my favourite restaurant is Nico’s, I love their veal, its delicious. Seriously, you should try it. I also like going for long drives when I have nothing better to do and I love going to the karaoke too” I can see the guys men from the corner of my eyes, they’re slowly walking towards me with each step I take towards their leader. I can also make out weapons on some of them, not guns though, Bo Staffs, Kumasi Staff, Dadao’s, shit! I misjudged this, but its ok, maybe I can talk my way out of this, I hope! “My name is……” He cuts me off “Maru! I know who you are!” Maru? How the hell does he know that name? I haven’t been called that in over 2000 years! Even hearing the name being called out now is strange, I try not to let it phase me but just hearing it has me stuck here with my mouth open in some sort of shock!

“I know who you are and what you are, I’ve had a close eye on you for the last 4 months. I know everything there to know about you. Where you live, what you do on your day off, who you really are” He folds his arms and looks down at me. I give him about 7’ maybe 7’ 3” This guy is huge! Ok so I’m confused, very confused, I don’t recognise him from anywhere or anytime for that matter, this isn’t someone who is easy to forget! “I don’t know who you are, what do you want from me?” yeah I’m slightly pissed off, and why shouldn’t I be? He just called me by my long forgotten name in front of everyone! My fists are clenched, I just want to punch him but not here, not now, too many people and someone innocent might get hurt!

“G sent me! He has hired my “expertise” to find you………and kill you!” G? That son of a bitch! I knew I should have killed him when I had the chance. Just thinking about him enrages me, I cant stand hearing his name even being said around me, it just makes my blood boil. “That slime ball too scared to come himself?” If I get out of this I am going to find him and this time I will kill him! “G just hired me! I don’t ask any questions apart from the name of my victim or victims. As long as I get paid I don’t give a shit about anything” Hired guns, smart move G. Looks like there’s no talking out of this one Max. “Ok, so how does this work? Do I just stand here and have you shoot me or do we fight or what?” My cockiness is coming back out now, gotta take this clown down but how? “Personally, it would be easy for me to just shoot you on the spot but chances are that you’ll move once I try so I’m just gonna get my men to grab you and take you somewhere to shoot you…….or maybe throw you out the window instead, we’re about….what…….46 storeys high?” Throw me out the window? “Actually we’re 63 storeys high but its ok, you don’t seem like the type of guy who did well in school” Oh yeah, go me! Ok maybe making fun of his intelligence wasn’t a good idea but I need him to throw me out of the window! “Humfh! Think you’re a smart ass do you? Forget the window, I want to beat the hell out of you and then shoot you” Oh Crap! Ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap He goes to punch me but I quickly dodge his fist and move to the left of him, I go to punch him back only for one of his men to kick me in the side, man that hurt! Right that does it, no more mister nice guy! I grab the guy who kicked me and throw him onto his friends, I turn to face their boss and just see him going for another punch as I do, I bend backwards, his fist going by me and missing, except for just grazing the top of my nose. I come back up and he tries to kick me but I side step him and walk into a punch by another of his gang. This isn’t good, I cant take him on when he has his team helping him! I have to take them all out. 2 of the men come at me at full speed, I run towards them, of course not much room in the office but as I get to them I clothesline them to the ground. They try to get up but I grab both their heads and knock them together, letting them fall crumpled on the ground! I turn to a guy with his Bo Staff. He’s twirling it round him grunting and making these moves that are normally reserved for people at Martial Arts Events showing off the moves, he goes to strike me over head, I roll back as the staff hits the carpeted floor. He lunges the staff at me, I dodge left and right and back as I walk towards one of the pillars, he goes to hit me from the side, taking a big swing, I wait till the very last minute, just one more second, I can just about feel the staff’s edge at my face when I duck down and have it hit the pillar, the aftershock travels up to the guy and he lets go of the staff but it’s a big mistake because I have it now! He’s shaking his hands and stops, he doesn’t see it coming as I whack him on the top of the head but not too hard, I don’t want to knock him out, I want him to see this next one. As he starts to get up I wait for him, he slowly raises his head and is now looking at me, I have the staff in my hands, in a fighting position, I smirk at him before lunging it into his face and breaking his nose. He screams in pain as he falls to the ground again. Yes, yes, this is what I like to see.

But no time to enjoy it, there are more of them. I try to defend myself from them, attacking them the odd time I see an opening. Their boss now is just standing there watching, he lets his men do all the work, probably so he can study me, looking for my weakness. He has a gun though, but my guess is he would rather fight that shoot. Better for me I suppose. So I’ve gotten rid of a few more of his men and I turn to face the next wave with the staff. These guys are ready…..crap, these guys are the one’s with the Dadao Swords. I raise the Bo Staff and go to swipe at them but the swipe back with their Dadao Swords cutting the staff. Not so bright Max, ok what to do, what to do! Less thinking and more dodging as one of the men tries to stab me and I move out of the way. Its like its 3 of them at a time making their moves, one goes to swipe from the left, as I dodge him, the other swipes from the right, dodge him too but there is the third guy who goes for my legs, I jump up avoiding him and as I do, I get swiped from the right again, I try to dodge but my arm gets a cut, thankfully not a deep or even dangerous cut but damn it, the cut is sore as hell. A guy goes to swipe at me again, as I move his gets the desk behind me, the sword is stuck in it, I take this chance to elbow him in the face and I grab his sword. The other 2 come at me and we have a duel going with me parrying their attacks and for some reason I cant help but think of Star Wars and the lightsaber fights, man I wish I had a lightsaber right now! As I’m defending myself from the ongoing attack I try to grab what I can from the desks around me to use as weapons, a spoon, some hot coffee, nice, that will burn his face but for each one I take down, there is another there to take his place. I starting to get exhausted but I cant let up, I will beat them, its almost finished now, it has to be, there cant be more of them left. Just as I am about to parry and strike back at the only person attacking me,

I catch something out of the corner of my eye, trying not to lose myself I just managed to parry him but he stopped and didn’t come back, at the same time I turned around to see their leader holding Isabelle up off the ground by her throat. He gave a slight chuckle as he looked at her and then back at me, I dropped the Dadao sword immediately, Damn it, I had forgotten about her and all the other people in the office. I was so focused on defending myself and killing these guys that I never thought about them, I could have accidentally hurt someone. “Let her go! She has nothing to do with any of this, its me your after so let her go” I didn’t want anything to happen to her, not because it was her but because I didn’t want anyone innocent to get hurt. “Like I said, I know everything about you, and I know how you feel about this pretty little flower here!” Oh yeah, I’d forgotten all about that, he must have been keeping a real close eye on me, it would make sense to grab her, after all, we spent most of our free time together at comedy shows or movies but not like a date, just as friends, he probably assumed we were dating, regardless, he had me right where he wanted me. “You see, I could let her go but what fun would that be? I would rather make you suffer slightly, its all the more fun that way, don’t you think?” That didn’t sound too good, he’s up to something, what does he want to do to her…….oh no! The Window!! Without even looking towards the broken window, he just threw like an unwanted doll or toy, straight through the opening. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” I sprinted across to the window, dodging the punches and kicks and the weapons, I dived out as if I was diving into a pool and I could hear the leader cursing me, he didn’t think I would jump out the window, I could hear him calling me a damn fool.

I could see Isabelle, her hands flailing wildly. I tried to manoeuvre myself in such a way that I would fall faster, I started gaining speed and somehow managed to catch up to Isabelle. As soon as I was near enough to her I grabbed her and held her close to me. “Don’t worry, I have you, everything is going to be ok” or maybe not, she was still screaming. “MAX, WE’RE BOTH GOING TO DIE” I looked into her eyes and smiled at her “Relax, everything is going to be ok” She had a look of disbelief in her eyes, who could blame her, I mean we are getting closer to the ground after all but I have my secrets, I closed my eyes tightly and at that moment the back of my shirt started to rip open at 2 points. A pair of black wings sprouted from those points, I suddenly opened my eyes and they were red, Isabelle had stopped screaming at that point and was probably in shock, I couldn’t tell, I didn’t really care, I wanted to get revenge! I swooshed up at the very last minute, just missing the ground and I flapped those evil looking black wings, flying back to the 63rd floor while carrying her in my arms. Once I reached the floor, I put Isabelle to the side and walked up to the leader, I could sense the fear in his men, his too but he stood his ground, a brave man. “I heard about this but I didn’t think it was true, your supposed to be an urban legend of some sort, your not supposed to be real” His fear was growing, I had a few tricks up my sleeves, tricks I could use to strike fear in anybody, my eyes started to glow a brighter red, I opened my mouth and showed him my teeth, the fangs slowly forming, I licked them with my tongue. His men had started to abandon him, he was left all alone with me to face and he didn’t want any of it anymore. I let out a loud roar, shattering the computer monitors and the windows around me, he tries to run but I punch him to the ground. Revenge, I want revenge for what he’s done to me, what he tried to do to Paul, to Isabelle, revenge for having to make me reveal my secret that I had hidden for so long. I grabbed him by his throat and lifted him up, I held him there while I punched him in the face, he was going to feel the pain he tried to cause me.

“Please stop, I’m sorry, I was jus doing what I was hired to do” I love hearing someone plead for mercy, its how I know that I’m in control. I walk over to the window and hold him over the edge. “What are you doing? Please don’t! Let me go! PLEASE! I’LL DO ANYTHING” Not so tough now are you? Yeah, your going to go splat, your going to get what you deserve you sick son of a bitch, he starts to struggle, trying to make me break my grasp on his throat. “You want me to let you go? Well then I’ll let you go” and watch you as you fall down 63 floors to your demise. “NO!” Huh, bastard’s gone all girly now, I must be holding him too tight. “Don’t do it Max!” Wait a second, that wasn’t him, I turn around to see Isabelle shaking her head “Don’t do it! He isn’t worth it Max, just let him go” She was right! Despite everything, he wasn’t the man I wanted revenge against, he wasn’t G! I turned around and threw him as hard as I could against the wall, I wasn’t going to kill him but I was going to hurt him. “Today you live! I want you to go back to G! Go back to him and tell him that I’m coming for him and this time, it ends!” I turn to Isabelle, look into her eyes, those beautiful blue eyes, that’s all I ever think about. “I’m sorry Isa……I have to leave” I let myself fall backwards out the window, she tries to grab me but she misses as I fall down, I flap my wings and fly off.

I can never be with the one I love, I lost her centuries ago and now that I finally find someone else, it falls apart, just like it had in the beginning, but at least she didn’t die. I am Maru, The Avenging Devil, cursed to live forever, finding a new, willing host for every 100 years, never to be who I really am, never to live a happy life. Never………Until I kill G!

Sunday, October 11, 2009

Sometimes I wonder if my colleague's in work don't like me! I don't think I have done anything wrong to any of them, I have always been very respectful with all of them, done them many favours but yet I sometimes get the feeling that they don't like me and they basically take advantage of my good nature.
We're a small team in a kind of large company and from my previous experience with working in different places, we like to go out for a few drinks on a Friday after work. Nothing too major, especially in these economic times, just go to the pub, have a drink and chat, just for a laugh. You don't necessarily have to have an alcoholic beverage to have fun, there is so much to choose from.

But this team isn't like that, well, hasn't been like that in the last 3 odd years. I find myself socialising whenever possible with other teams in the company because my team don't do anything or go anywhere. I have tried to organise different events in the pass such as bowling or go-carting or just a meet up and despite people saying yes it always ends with just myself and no one else, sometimes 1 other person shows up though but that's it.
Every year for my Birthday I have a party and I always send out an email well in advance so people know and can either make plans to be able to attend it or let me know that they cant. This year only 6 people showed up for the party after I had booked a venue for 40 people, 1 person unfortunately wasn't feeling well and she only dropped by to wish me a Happy Birthday so technically 5 people were there but, hey, at least some people showed up!
Now normally I couldn't care less about this, I still had a great night with my sister and her friends, we sometimes celebrate around the same time as our Birthdays are 4 days apart! So I went my usual way the next few days in work, not really caring about it when I turned around and noticed that one of the guys behind me had his desk all decorated with balloons and flyer's as it was his birthday. He wasn't in work until the next day so it was pretty much going to be a surprise for him and all I could think of was "Those f**king bastards did nothing for me and I've been here longer than most of these guys" OK so I was slightly annoyed and I did try to let it go, honestly I did but fast forward 2 months later and I am being asked by a colleague if I want to put some money towards getting 1 of the girls a Birthday card and something else! My answer was a polite "NO" Why would I want to do that when no one did anything for mine? I'm normally the first guy to start any collections for Birthdays, no one did anything for mine so I quit!

Now its not just the Birthday thing that's annoying me. In the past I have tried to organise some nights out which no one has come to and I pretty much have given up doing that as its always a yes from everyone but then nobody shows up! Working on a night shift I have very little interaction with anyone on the day shift unless they are doing a late shift or over time. Its normally myself and another guy in the building and we get along great. We have the same sense of humour and he is like my main guy to go to when I have some questions that require experienced people! The other interaction we get is emails from our Team Leader to keep us up to date on new ads for the job or emails from colleges just asking how we are and so on! He asked me today if I was going to the Halloween party that one of the girls is organising, I told him I didn't know of any party and he said it was in the email she sent out, an email I never got because I wasn't invited. This upsets me more than annoys me because I thought myself and this girl got along fine! Not the sort of "fine" that we could date and so on but the sort that you just got along very well and were good friends. He showed me the email and I noticed that she only sent it to others she liked/got on with so the way I see it, we don't get along and we're not fine.

So, being with the company close to 7 years, I have decided not to organise any more nights out, not to celebrate my birthday with workmates, not to trust some people and that for my 30th next year, I am going to Vegas!
I think my next blog will be about my religion.
Take care
Maurizio
